The Tsum Valley trek is an amazing adventure through a quiet Himalayan valley in northern Nepal. It sits between the Ganesh Himal and Sringi Himal mountain ranges along with Mt. Manaslu, known for its natural beauty and unique Tibetan-influenced culture. It became open to trekkers in 2008, staying secluded for a long time, which kept its ancient monasteries, special traditions, and the traditional Tsumba way of life intact. The trek treats you to stunning views of snow-covered peaks, green landscapes, and lets you explore ancient monasteries like Rachen Gompa and Mu Gompa. With a mix of challenging terrain and cultural wonders, the Tsum Valley trek is perfect for those seeking a one-of-a-kind and authentic Himalayan adventure.
The best season to explore this trek is during spring (Mar- May) and in Autumn (Oct – Nov). In this period the trek for Tsum Valley is most favorable and the weather will be so nice.
